FOR SALE: 2000 Sunseeker Predator 56
The Sunseeker Predator 56 is an iconic offshore sports cruiser that seamlessly combines aggressive, timeless lines with immense performance and an expansive open-air entertainment space. This luxury vessel represents the pinnacle of premium coastal cruising, presenting in exceptional condition and fully equipped for immediate turnkey enjoyment.
Vessel Overview and Hull Design
The vessel features a length overall of 18.34 metres, an ISO 8666 hull length of 17.10 metres, and a waterline length of 13.45 metres. With a substantial beam of 4.60 metres and a full-load draft of 1.35 metres, the yacht delivers exceptional stability. The hull is engineered with a deep-V profile featuring a 19-degree transom deadrise, utilizing solid hand-laid glass reinforced plastic laminate below the waterline for superior structural integrity and a smooth, dry ride through offshore chop. The vessel carries a dry displacement of 23,541 kilograms, shifting to 23,600 kilograms at half load, and carries a substantial fuel capacity of 2,350 litres alongside 650 litres of fresh water.
Performance and Machinery
Propulsion is delivered by twin MAN D2848 LE403 V8 marine diesel engines producing a combined 1,600 horsepower. This advanced electronic engine configuration features electronic engine management alongside the integrated MAN Monitoring Diagnostic System, which supplies real-time digital readouts at the helm station. Operating via a traditional direct shaft drive system, the vessel achieves a comfortable cruising speed between 22 and 25 knots with an approximate combined fuel burn of 160 to 180 litres per hour, while reaching a maximum speed capability of 32 to 34 knots.
Luxury Accommodations
The interior is elegantly finished in signature high-gloss American Cherry timber, premium cream leather upholstery, and practical teak-and-holly laminate flooring in the galley. The layout offers refined accommodations for four overnight guests across two private cabins, with the option for a fifth berth. The full-beam master stateroom is positioned amidships to minimize hull motion and features a diagonally configured double island bed, a cedar-lined wardrobe, and a private en-suite bathroom. The forward VIP guest cabin features a centerline double island bed with dual-entry access to the forward day head. The lower salon provides a comfortable curved leather dinette that seats up to six guests around a high-gloss dining table. Located at the stern beneath the aft sunpad is a dedicated single crew cabin complete with its own private toilet and washbasin, which can alternatively serve as a massive, lockable lazarette storage room.
Galley, Domestic Appliances, and Climate Control
The linear port-side galley is equipped with a flush-surface three-burner ceramic electric cooktop, a premium microwave and grill combination oven, and a recessed stainless steel sink featuring a high-gloss timber chopping board cover. Refrigeration is divided across a 130-litre dual-voltage front-loading refrigerator and freezer in the galley and a secondary drinks refrigerator located at the cockpit wet bar. The cockpit wet bar also houses a dedicated prep sink and a Raritan 240V automatic ice maker. Onboard plumbing services four sinks, three showers—including two private internal circular acrylic stalls with rotating doors and a hot/cold freshwater transom shower—and two primary Dometic VacuFlush freshwater vacuum toilets plumbed to a 150-litre centralized blackwater holding tank. Complete interior climate comfort is managed by a split-zone, reverse-cycle marine air conditioning and heating system powered by three independent 240V AC units.
Deck Hardware, Ground Tackle, and Electrical Systems
The deck layout focuses on open-air luxury, highlighted by a large electronically retractable hardtop sunroof over the helm station and a heavy-duty submersible hydraulic swim platform at the transom. The deck gear includes eight high-tensile 316 marine stainless steel cleats, a continuous bow pulpit rail, a massive permanent aft sunpad, and twin 24V electric stern warping winches on the aft quarters to simplify Mediterranean-style mooring. The ground tackle features a high-torque 24V electric anchor windlass operable via foredeck foot switches or a remote helm rocker, controlling 60 metres of 10mm galvanised chain and a plow anchor. Onboard entertainment includes a multi-zone Fusion Bluetooth audio system wired into an LED Smart TV in the lower salon, a secondary TV in the master cabin, and a custom backlit crystal glassware cabinet. The extensive electrical infrastructure handles a dual-voltage 24V DC and 240V AC system, completely powered away from the dock by a heavy-duty Kohler 11kW marine diesel generator fitted with a silent underwater exhaust system.
